Ophelia - you are spot on for me - what do you charge for tea readings?
eHarmony won't even give me the option to take the quiz - so much for the 6th time's the charm!

I have friends who have been told by eHarmony "that there are no matches for you now or ever"....
I do tea readings as well, send me your stain. Send me any stain and i will do a personal funny reading.:O) opheliac at mac dot com
Offer open to anyone with a stain they need read.

Hi Ophelia,
Oh, dear, you're sure to get interesting photos with your "send me any stain" offer. Stains are far more interesting than tea leaves or coffee grounds. Tasseography is so played out.
Hmm, in my trash, there's remanents of a poppy seed bagel, paper scraps, and faded PMS chips...

What about Gatorade readings? I don't drink coffee. But I would if it meant that Jason Calacanis would follow me on Twitter. And I mean *really* followed me.

gatorade i can do too, except for the clear flavor. I especially like the orange one, that leaves a mighty fine stain.
as for Jason Calacanis, heh. can't help you there. I am just a little cog on a big machine.

I see still shrink wrapped DVDs of "20 Minute Abs", hundreds of varied length USB cables, post-it notes with repeating text, unopened tins of ill chosen Altoids "Watermelon Bacon Mint", and glued Atlas Shrugged novel converted bookends.

I see "AOL offering one month free" cds, a Friendster fanny pack, half used chapstick with the etoy logo, a zip disk, a job application to the now closed Starbucks down the street, a 2004 astrology report on tape, and half eaten Egg McMuffin from last week.

Watermelon Bacon MInt...have you tried the new Carrot Cherry Carob Tic Tac with antioxident power boost?
Jay Cuthrell

Carob is not the chocolate we are looking for. The Tic Tac is a lie!

okay, how about the new Trident flavor? Pork Rind with a hint of Corduroy.

I'd buy it in the economy pack. Mmm Mmm good. It's the taste of the Ivy League and the ACC in one lip smakin' combo to go!

I'm cleaning all my coffee stains so that you can't peer into my soul with laser-like accuracy! Thanks for reading coffee stains-I'm sick of hearing about tea leaves.

Who knew the accuracy in a coffee stain, wonder what the one the hood of my car has hidden within its borders? How about Popsicle drippings? Or mustard drippings from out of my sandwich onto my notebook?

So true, Ophelia - between spider sandwiches and multiple eHarmony rejections alone, my Lexapro intake has quadrupled. Not sure what adding personal stain analysis to the mix will do to my world... ugh.

Hey, I can see the light at the end of the latte. There is definitely a clearing ahead in your soy mocha light on the foam coffee stain.

I especially love the eHarmony part! You're cracking me up. In Ireland, it was tea leaves all the way, but I love this. The spider sandwich reminded me of how I once bit into a dried fig to find I had eaten half a beatle.

I have probably eaten my share of dead bugs. But it's all protein, right? Here in the US of A, we read coffee stains. Manly coffee stains, the kind that can eat through wood and permanently stain your Brooks Brother's monogrammed shirt. Thanks for commenting Robbie.:O)

Hi Ophelia, Seems like everyone's got diverted with coffee stains & spiders, when a classic piece was being asked not to fill out another quiz ever again. To quiz, add surveys & questionnaires especially the telephone ones. Question - has anyone ever got to the last page of Google search for kittens ? That's probably more of a challenge to read than all those stains & things - like getting to another universe - the last page of Google.

Not filling out a quiz for an online dating site would be interesting. Could we go by just an image and screen name?
Emily did get to the last page on the search for kitten images. She was determined to show me that she could and would send me the last image. And of course it was a pair of cute kittens.
The other universe is full of flying kittens, pop stars and kids falling off skateboards. I'm stayin on this side of the line. ;O)

Your client just saw a flash site and asks how hard is it to make his site “move like that?” hahaaha i always get comments from my clients like that. they don´t know what they want, they just know that their site can be improved, but they don´t have an idea of what are they talking.

I also like the one where they tell you that it will never get more complex than a home page and an About Us page. "HA!" i say and then I sit back and wait for the phone call.

Har. I can see where with the advent of all those forensic shows, you would expect to see a coffee stain cut apart on an examination table.
Thank you for taking the time to read and peruse HTSAA. :O)) ophelia

Eww...Half eaten spider. And I though it was bad to find half of a mangled spider in my sock! I love the WoW one too. Man, that is exactly what my coffee stain would say. (If I played WoW anymore or even drank coffee that is). These were funny! Thanks!
ophelia_chong

Thank you! The spider story is true. And I even found a praying mantis once in my salad at a backyard BBQ. Not sure who was more shocked the bug or me. He made it safe back to his leafy home, covered in Ranch Dressing though. :O) Thanks for commenting!

This is an interesting that there are people out there who can use the art of reading coffee stains to make greats posts like these :P
